Join Lauren and Bally this week as we talk about the disappearance of Pamela Jackson and Cheryl “Sherri” Miller, two teenagers from Vermillion, South Dakota who disappeared without a trace in 1971. A shoddy police investigation led to twists in the case, but ultimately the girls were found 42 years later!
